The nature reserve Krebsbachtal is located in the districts of Moitzfeld von Bergisch Gladbach and Immekeppel von Overath . It begins in the headwaters of the Krebsbach between Herweg and Steinacker and continues past Groß Hohn , Löhe , Bökenbusch and Schmitzbüchel into the Sülztal .

vegetation

The Krebsbach runs largely undisturbed and is mostly accompanied by alder trees . The valley slopes are mainly planted with mixed forests of hornbeam , oak and beech . The hillside meadows are mostly used and have several spring outlets . There are also some orchards in the reserve . The tributaries flowing to the side are close to nature and arise in small, well-developed spring swamps.

The protection designation was made for the preservation and development of a long, relatively undisturbed stream valley with alluvial forests as well as wet and humid grassland areas, orchards and poor meadows on the slopes.

Mining

Ore mining has been carried out on the Weiß pit since the middle of the 19th century . There was a large deposit in Steinacker, the field boundary of which reached up to the Krebsbach. From there, several tunnels were driven, the buried mouth holes and smaller heaps of which can still be seen today. In addition, the large stockpile of so-called ranging Laveissière-shaft down into the valley, which at the height of Steinacker sunk had been.
